Pin description of SMX2 with Modem mode selected
The 'modem' mentioned is a 1200 baud RS232 semi-intelligent unit (Transmit keyed when valid serial
data is present, so no separate TX control needed. Coding in the datastream also permits the receiver to
ignore noise and only output valid serial data) This is a half duplex unit, so collisions between
transmitted and received packets must be dealt with by the user (if transmit data is sent to the unit
then a transmit burst commences immediately and the contents of the receive data buffer is lost)

NOTES:

4.
No inversion occurs between TXD and RXD. However AF out is inverted relative to TXD.
Parallel channel selects are active LOW and have internal pullups to 4V
There are no pullups on the open collector outputs.
The software incorporates a 1200 baud modem, compatible with that implemented in other
Radiometrix narrowband units ( i1200 tones and format ). Modem operation is selected by the
SETMOD command. TXE pin (6a) becomes an RS232 input, and RS232 compatible data is output
on the RXD pin (5a). If true +/- levels are desired then an inverter and a MAX232 should be used on
data out.

5. RS232 input pins (6a and 7a) tolerate true +/- levels. No buffering is required.
6. If analogue transmit modulation is needed, then connect a series 1µF cap + 500kΩ trimmer in the
‘baseband in’ circuit. Adjust trimmer for 90% of peak deviation (+/- 2.7KHz) at mean input level.
7. If parallel channel select is not wanted, the 4 pin connector 'b' can be removed

Notes:
1. A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming
time).
SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative after a
power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed by a
GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile
applications.
2. /SETPAR command should be issued at the end of channel programming to put the module
back into parallel frequency select mode

Notes: 1. The data slicer cannot be depended upon for data waveform frequencies below 250Hz
2. When RX is on and a transmitter keys up, again a 50ms period is required to stabilise data
output mark/space. i.e. allow at least 50ms of preamble
